Re: what year is this Torino?
Pretty sure by '70 all of the Windsors were replaced with Clevelands (better engine).
BTW Chris, nice Torino. Did they call that the "LASER" stripe?

Re: what year is this Torino?
  Laser stripe is correct Sam ! (not my torino) I think they came in four colors? you can still get them. I had a neighbor with a yellow 70 GT NEW and we thought that stripe was theee baddest thing back then (for a ford)  actually that first "hugger orange" has a cyclone stripe not a torino laser stripe according to the owners post

Re: what year is this Torino?
There has recently been a 4spd scj rag on ebay with a bin of 195k. It's yellow with 3.91, hideaways and no ram air. Very nice resto.

Re: what year is this Torino?
'70 Torino Convertible 429 SCJ Drag Pack auction ended on 21 Nov. with the threat of "if it doesn't sell here I'll take it to BJ or R&S - I haven't decided yet!
Looks like a nice resto on a very rare car. Not a Ford guy, I see air cleaner has "Cobra Jet" decal. Is it a Super Cobra Jet with the Drag Pack option (i.e. external oil cooler, more aggressive gears, tuffer bottom end, etc.)  ?

Re: what year is this Torino?
Top of the line on this model was the Cobra Jet 429 Ram-Air(Shaker-Hood) with Drag pack( with all the engine goodies ,391/430 traction lock, etc.)
A buddy of mine ran one and it could run with the best---I think the SCJ --was a special Ford concept with a Daytona type nose--I think a couple were made????...Don't quote me on this though..
